I have confidence in this model for certain people who have a drive to achieve things.
I feel it's mostly incompatible with having a partner / spouse (and would love any disagreement or contrary evidence). Especially if the partner works 9-5, working when I feel like it will often eat into relationship time.
- thecombjelly 17y agoI would agree on with you on having a drive to achieve things makes it easier. Then again what model works for someone that doesn't have a drive to achieve things?
- JacobAldridge 17y agoTrue, there's no model that works. They need to receive very clear expectations, be held constantly accountable, and appreciate that they will probably transfer through a lot of jobs (or roles within a government department or large corporation) and never earn more than an average salary. For plenty of people, that's actually OK. For others, insert the occasional 'the world owes me' or 'life isn't fair' discussions.
- SomeCallMeTim 17y agoI'm thinking about trying this, despite having a relationship/family. I think the right approach is to set expectations appropriately--and to spend at least some of your "off" time with the family to make up for the long days "on". At least that's my theory.
